Whitney Houston's Free Ride to End

The Daily Record newspaper in Parsippany, NJ) is reporting that Whitney Houston's $6 million New Jersey estate is scheduled to be auctioned off in a Sheriff's Auction on January 4 because of more than $1 million owed in back taxes and other charges. Apparently, neither the mortgage nor the taxes have been paid this year, per county tax records. Ridiculous.

As People reports, "To pay off the mortgage, Houston was to shell out $4,711.18 per month from June 2004 until May 2034, for a total of about $1.7 million, the paper reports. If the past-due payments are made, the sale could be called off, says Gayl Spivak, an attorney representing Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems."

Of course, Whitney Houston's publicist and her secretary deny everything, but I kinda believe a newspaper, especially when it involves sheriffs.
